Subliminal CDs Will Boost Your Spanish



My wife and I moved to Spain two years ago. I am very happy with getting into our wonderful new life here. I wouldn’t say my Spanish is really great but I do understand most of what people say to me and I can make myself understood mostly. Sandra became increasingly frustrated with herself as she could not get her mouth and brain to work together to speak Spanish. She knew French as a second language so a random mixture of French, Engish, and Spanish would regularly be spoken at first.

It was completely unconscious with her and the more she tried the more embarrassed she got and the worse it got and the worse she felt. Now she is a really smart person but she just couldn’t get past the Spanish mental block.

So I got her a ‘Subliminal Spanish CD’, which is a really simpl but effective language learning aid. She usually listens to the CD twice a day, once in the morning and again at night just before going to sleep. It doesn’t help her to learn grammar, syntax or verbs in itself. It isn’t a ‘talk at you in Spanish thing’.

It is simply an unconscious message sent straight into her subconscious mind to help shorten her learning curve. In addition to her studying and everyday absorption of Spanish it gradually removes the barriers to her brains absorption of the vocabulary etc. She has stopped stumbling over her words and is no longer reticent about talking to our Spanish friends, and swears by the subliminal messages! It improved her vocabulary dramatically, but also her ability to remember and recall words. She goes about her studies with added concentration and understanding, and is even talking about going on to Catalan Spanish now.
